Not everyone I meet is trying to run for POTUS and carry the nuclear football.

So yes, in this case respect must be earned and Nobambi has done zippo to have earned that from me.

You are still free in this greatest of countries, until the Left takes over, to call anyone anything especially public figures and even more so those trying to run the free world.

So have at it my friend and let's see how entertaining and relevant it will be.

Well, you are correct about respect being earned. However (and I am an independent voter who is undecided currently), there is a difference between disrepect and someone who has not earned your respect. You don't know the man, so it is fair to say he has not earned your respect. It is not fair, however, to disrepect him with all the name calling.
